Delighted to be selected, I would have thought I needed another season's solid work to even be in the reckoning for such a match. Will be plenty to do in the back four against New Zealand, no doubt, who are a quality international side. We need that kind of matching if we're going to improve.

A bit disappointed the improved performances of Power haven't resulted in more players in the squad. Good luck to everyone who made the squad and i hope Blake's and Andy's recent good form can result in them getting a starting spot.
